You heard it here first. Some of the most expensive real estate we own in the west. It's been fun.

Just got word that wireless managers from other regions are being sent to Texas to help

Have you noticed everyone passing out water to a few people or visiting a shelter are posting it all over social media! They have to make sure everyone knows. Verizon teaches us to brag about EVERYTHING! People in Houston are really hurting but we... — read more 

Verizon has a cash flow problem, they can't afford their debt and they apparently have cut the wireless side to the bone. The corporations 2 largest expenses are real estate and payroll, so a massive offer and the subsequent closing or selling off of... — read more

A Verizon lifer, Suzette Walker climbed from high school intern to “turf” engineer over more than three decades at the phone giant, compiling a stellar work record but for one apparent blemish: a poor employee evaluation in 2013 when she took... — read more 

Wouldn't it be nice if after this holiday weekend....we came back and found out that they were announcing an EISP!!

I'm hearing rumors of an eisp in October 2017, November 2017 and now February 2018. Which is it? Does anyone have solid info or are people just trolling?

Watch the video... What other company does this sound like? http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/31/investing/wells-fargo-fake-accounts/index.html

Anyone hear any new eisp rumors with reliable sources recently? I heard two rumors a few weeks ago but nothing since. One rumor said one was coming soon but had no other information....another said October but I don't know if they meant an... — read more 

Your severance is composed of three parts. 1 Two weeks/year with 35 weeks max. Severance base pay is calculated by adding base pay to target STI (10, 12 or 20%). Eg: If actual base pay is 80 K and STI is 12%, then severance base pay is 89.6 K 2... — read more 

Who thinks hurricane Harvey will be a excuse to close down majority of corporate stores in Houston area? Good luck down there from okc 🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is what he pitched to Lowell to show he knows what those Millennials want. https://vimeo.com/dissolve/tiagma

Not sure what's going on????

Anyone heard anything? I've heard they are cutting the bottom 10 to 20 percent in solution experts.

Any layoffs for Telematics R&D division??

Problem in this company is lack of innovation. Too many "cannot do" versus "we can do". IPTV is a great product and just like any other product, it takes development and innovative thought processes. Google, Samsung, and Apple are examples of going... — read more 

The center I am in is mostly empty & from what I hear so are most of the others. Any word on more call center closing?

It doesn't matter who calls out VZ - the arrogance of the org is just too great. The Verizon elites could care less as long as Execs line their pockets. It's a company filled with hypocrisy - let's give phones to domestic violence victims, but let's... — read more 

Sitting in a bar with my buddies, hearing IPTV is dead in the water. Too complicated and too costly. I think it was too late, if you ask me. Hope Lowell has a Plan Z. Oh wait, Marni may decide to go buy Disney now.

Since the latest contract was for four years (retroactive to Aug 2015) wouldn't Verizon start priming the pump this spring with EWA selections? Just curious is I need to plan. I was EWA last year and it definitely seems like "once an EWA always an... — read more 

I worked at Verizon and was laid off (RIF) as well. Despite the fact I could probably tell a lot of cowboy stories as well and be negative, I make a deliberate choice not to do so as I know it hurts the people still working there who depend on... — read more 

Things are way too quiet. What's up?

I just heard a rumor that they found a buyer for the Charlestown Chiefs....some retirement community in Florida....

Will anymore corporate stores be closing down this year or auctioned off to indirect? if so does anyone know what areas or what the determining factors are?

I was out on maternity leave and my department was being laid off. They said I couldn't look for jobs within VZW while out. Is this true? Has anyone been able to look or interview while out?

The new plans rolling out are a joke. I would love to be in the room when this rolled out to see the kind of idiots that think this is a good idea and what our customers want. Verizon is going down the crapshoot. Im wondering when we wont be a... — read more 

What are your thoughts on EISP in 2018?

Quota is ridiculous so many reps zero traffic its geared to barely hit a check if you're lucky. Someone is making some good money and its not the front line anymore.

Verizon retail DM made racist remarks over the past several years and kept his job! HR covered it up due to his sales performance. Many of you have similar stories. Lowell should be outraged and conduct an internal investigation of HR to find out why... — read more 

That if we hear anything we're a bit more specific about anything you've heard? There's so many vague posts and it's awful to read. How about posting area, district, store or call center?

There is no problem complaining about a company like Verizon that treats both customers and employees like crap. I having nothing positive to say about my former employer and hopefully there are thousands of complainers like me who will hurt Verizon... — read more 

Thought Verizon had big plans when it was stipulated in the contract that they had the ability to offer an EISP yearly without having to ask the unions permission or justify why they need to get people off the books. Surprised to see that Verizon has... — read more 

Does anyone know what the severance package is or the rif package for solutions specialist. Is it 2 weeks pay for each year your with the company?

Been a while for me to need to call tier 2 for help. Where are all the old school DMS people at? What happened to them, the person i spoke to was clueless. This company is going down the shi**er.

Quick question, were there any employees that were extended past their layoff date to interview or look for jobs in the company?

This is a copy/paste from ATT's page here - but it can be 100% applied to us as well: We are trying to play Google's game with no tools of our own To me, the strategy is clearly making money on advertising by leveraging customer data. Our actual... — read more
